But I don't want it to *ignore* the access entries entirely. For
example, if I were to do
milter-NAME-from: SKIP
then it would completely ignore entries like:
amazon.com OK
disabling my ability to whitelist certain senders, etc.
I guess I'd care a lot less about its overriding sendmail's handling
of those lines if it handled the error codes in the config file the
way they're supposed to be done. In other words, if I can't convince
you to stop doing that, can you at least do it "right"? :-)
